Audax, underbiking & velomobiles. Occasional tallbiking. Genius who brought you SPD Crocs, inventor of the Meths Martini & no longer allowed unsupervised lab access. Upsetting in an oddly lingering kind of way.

#GWR cycle storage working out brilliantly...😕

A photo of a tiny, tiny, poorly designed bike cupboard on a GWR train. There is barely room for one bike, which is hung on a hook by its front wheel. The other bike (the cupboard is supposed to fit two bikes) is in the corridor because there isn't enough space for it.

Well said, Wes! 👏 👏 👏

Not a peep from the Putin Puppet Farage today over his MP’s divisive and racist rhetoric. Not fit to govern.

All brake cables should be sheathed from end to end, with no breaks in the housing.

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

I will not be taking questions.

No parking should be free, because it isnt. Why should I pay for someone else’s parking via my taxes. If you own it you pay for storing it.

People are happy to pay £4 for a single tea bag in a pot of hot water, but not for the storage of their private property in a public space whilst they do so

We should scrap the time change and stick to either BST or GMT all year round.

Eggy Drifter? I saw them supporting the Kill City Dragons at a club just down from The Marquee one rainy November night in 1991. They were clearly a decade past their prime & had overindulged in the green room - not a classic performance but they still nailed their classic hits.

I tried it on and... IT FITS!!

I shall go to the bike ride!

lol.

A warning has been issued after fake letters were posted through letterboxes, claiming people would have to house refugees if they flew St George's flag.
The letter said that "patriotic" households displaying the country's flag will temporarily house refugees because ‘we know you would be proud to assist your country’.

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food.

I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

In my experience it’s always best to be prepared for this sort of thing.

I travel a lot for work. During my travels I often look for places where you could hide a body, with little chance of it ever being found. I have never murdered anyone, or indeed, have any plans to. It's more of a case of being prepared if in fact I ever had a reason to hide one.
